使用电脑时长时间的静态和不平衡坐姿会导致肌肉骨骼不适。在本文中，我们研究了使用非常慢的移动监视器进行不显眼的姿势纠正。在第一项研究中，我们确定了低于感知阈值的显示速度，并观察了用户如何（在没有意识到的情况下）逐渐跟随显示器的运动做出反应。根据研究结果，我们设计了一个机器人监测器，它可以在不被察觉的情况下移动，以平衡不平衡的坐姿，并诱导姿势纠正。在一项评估研究中（n=12），我们让参与者在没有原型和有原型的情况下工作4个小时（总共8个小时）。结果表明，驱动增加了非破坏性快速姿势纠正的频率，并显着减少了不平衡坐姿的持续时间。大多数用户都很欣赏这款矫正姿势的显示器，并表示身体疲劳有所减轻。对于慢速机器人，我们向使用驱动对象进行不显眼的行为改变迈出了第一步。
Prolonged static and unbalanced sitting postures during computer usage contribute to musculoskeletal discomfort. In this paper, we investigated the use of a very slow moving monitor for unobtrusive posture correction. In a first study, we identified display velocities below the perception threshold and observed how users (without being aware) responded by gradually following the monitor's motion. From the result, we designed a robotic monitor that moves imperceptible to counterbalance unbalanced sitting postures and induces posture correction. In an evaluation study (n=12), we had participants work for four hours without and with our prototype (8 in total). Results showed that actuation increased the frequency of non-disruptive swift posture corrections and significantly reduced the duration of unbalanced sitting. Most users appreciated the monitor correcting their posture and reported less physical fatigue. With slow robots, we make the first step toward using actuated objects for unobtrusive behavioral changes.
